Keep religion out of this. Religion has nothing to do with Egypt having an evil dictator, basically.

You're stupid.
Non-religious people don't go around saying "GOD BLESS OUR COUNTRY," "ALLAH BLESS OUR COUNTRY,"
etc.

People in Egypt are religious whether Coptic, Christian or Muslim. It only makes sense that they would turn to God/Allah at a time like this. That's not the issue though. And what most people were shouting was "Down with the Regime," not religious remarks.

Because it's my country's flag? It all depends on what happens tomorrow. Everything will be clearer when he appoints this so-called "new government." What are you talking about? People became more angry after his speech. They're not going to let it slide that easy. Obviously the western countries have a huge advantage in him staying, but they also don't want to go against the population, because they'll be regarded as enemies by the Egyptians and they obviously don't want that either. That's true, but you're forgetting that Israel is also powerful especially with so many countries backing it up. We raped Israel in 1976 as well. Lebanon is a democratic country? Was that sarcasm? I can't tell. If not, have you been keeping up with recent news? Lebanon has even bigger problems to deal with. The government just collapsed this month and a whole bunch of people resigned. Not to forget the whole Rafik El-Hariri's assassination thing that they won't let go of, in addition to the Saad El-Hariri/Hezbollah conflicts. That's so far from democracy..

yes lebanon is the only democratic country ... mubarak has been dictator for 30 years ... in jordan the same ... in syra the same .. in iraq .. lol ... lebanon has elections every 4 years and what is happening now is normal . "walid junblat" decided to join the party of march 8 so saad hariri doesnt have th emajority anymore thats it .... but anyway mubarak is staying .. israel doesnt approve of it ... oh i wish abdil nasir was still alive ... |
